The H5T_GET_PRECISION function returns the precision in bits of an atomic datatype. The precision is the number of significant bits which, unless padded, is 8 times larger than the byte size from H5T_GET_CSET.
Result = H5T_GET_PRECISION(Datatype_id)
Returns an integer representing the bit precision.
An integer representing the datatype's identifier to be queried.
None.
